Lombardsbrücke

The Lombardsbrücke is a railway and road bridge spanning waterways in Hamburg-Mitte with a substantial steel framework. It carries trains and vehicles simultaneously on two separate levels stacked vertically.

The bridge was built in the late 1800s as part of Hamburg's major modernization as a trading port. It created new connections between commercial and residential areas that were previously difficult to reach directly.

The bridge displays neo-Renaissance features that connect Hamburg with other European port cities of that era. Its decorative details and design reflect a style seen across many important structures throughout the city.

The best view comes from walking across on foot or observing from nearby areas along the waterfront. Most visitors reach the bridge easily by public transit from downtown Hamburg.

Few visitors realize that historic warehouse buildings hide beneath the bridge, revealing Hamburg's past as a trading center. This old port architecture creates a striking contrast with the modern steel structure above it.
